BACKCHANNEL

Every alliance has an expiration date.

Backchannel is a multiplayer strategy game where diplomacy is the weapon and territory is the prize. Negotiate through structured signals, forge agreements you may never honor, and outmaneuver rivals through fog of war.

Features

Structured Signals

Communicate through template-based messages — just enough to coordinate, never enough to trust.

Fog of War

Only see what your borders reveal. Intelligence is currency, and sharing it is a gamble.

Negotiation & Agreements

Forge binding pacts, trade territory, and commit forces — or bluff your way to dominance.

Victory Conditions

Each map can layer custom win paths on top of the structural floor — predicate-driven objectives that ask you to hold a constellation of territories long enough to ratify, while the rest of the table races to break you.

Shared Victory

Two players can win together — if neither one betrays the other first.
